ACTON, Mass. – February 20, 2008  – eIQnetworks^®, Inc., a global provider of integrated security, risk and audit management solutions, today announced a complimentary webinar, “IT Collaboration Equals Success,” to be held on Wednesday, February 27 at 1 p.m. ET.

A new set of cross-functional solution requirements based on IT collaboration has emerged to address increasing security and compliance challenges. These requirements move beyond simple log-based management to include synchronization, consolidation and correlation of all security and compliance data across the enterprise.

This “Best Practices” webinar – featuring Rich Ptak, managing partner and co-founder of leading IT analyst firm, Ptak, Noel & Associates – will examine how these new requirements are driving the integration of next-generation security information management (SIM) and IT governance, risk and compliance (GRC) technology onto one unified data framework. This approach helps to better combat evolving risks while streamlining the audit process.

Key webinar takeaways include:

• An understanding of the requirements driving the integration of security, risk and audit management

• How next-generation SIM extends beyond log management to provide broader visibility and enhanced security

• Why incorporating IT GRC is essential for effective audit management

• Ways to enhance existing programs to reduce management complexity and improve operational efficiency
